I have closed toe water shoes, but the back heel is open. Are those okay for wearing on this trip?
Anyone know what happened to the turtles?? We're going in Aug, and I was really excited to see them, but I just checked the itinerary, and that's not listed.
Yes, we all wore Keens. They were perfect.I have closed toe water shoes, but the back heel is open. Are those okay for wearing on this trip?
I can't imagine why. The turtle walk was one of the highlights of the trip. It was a short plane ride but flying in and seeing the turtle tracks on the beach was amazing. Then we took a jungle boat tour and saw an unbelievable amount of wildlife. It's definitely a loss.They switched the itinerary from going to Tortuguero on the Caribbean coast (where the turtles go) to another wildlife park. I went to Tortuguero in April on our trip and since the turtles weren't in season we couldn't see them anyway. We really enjoyed Tortuguero but I would suspect that the change could be for two reasons: first, the trip out of Tortuguero made for a long, rather uninteresting day of travel in the itinerary. Secondly, the hotel there was an eco-resort and didn't have air conditioning, so perhaps people complained?
It sounds like this was your first Costa Rica tour. We are planning our first visit to CR too and I am wondering if you considered other tour operators, and what made you choose Disney? We are only in the beginning planning stages, and would go next year or the year after when my youngest is a bit older. I definitely want to zip line, because it is on my bucket list! I have heard planning on your own is "very easy" and love to plan, but am not ruling out a tour operator, by any means.
